Audio-visual group Sculpture creates vinyl picture records that appear to animate when viewed unders the correct conditions, and its latest is gorgeous. Sculpture comprises artist Reuben Sutherland, who works on the visual aspects of the groups records, performances, and music videos, and Dan Hayhurst, who creates the music. When cut into its distinct parts and properly arranged, the animation found on the pairs picture discs can be truly impressive, as demonstrated by the 2011 video for Elk Cloner. Although the concept of zoetropic animation dates back over a thousand years, and picture discs are very much an established art form — even Miley Cyrus latest album has one — the two mediums are rarely combined so well.
